Dollz4moi's Vinyl Musings

Like the title say Candi was my world for a moment (cue New Edition). This entry came about as a request from Dana of Philly Collector fame.  I think I saw these ladies in another collectors pictures on one of my doll boards. I had to ask the question and so it began. Candi was a quick detour in my collecting.   My sister-in-law Denise had a couple and I fell more in love. She eventually gave me a couple of hers. I started buying them from Paul David's (huge doll seller). I loved the work of Mikelman on these dolls and fashions. I know the dolls were 1st introduced from Helena Hamilton but Integrity & Mikelman were who I know them from.  I don't remember which was my first but here some of my faves of my collection.

I went food shopping tonight so I went to Walmart and found the Create-a-Monster Sea Monster/Vampire dolls with the double torso. I've been after this set since I fell in love with the Sea Monster. The original sets came with one torso and it was pink O_o.  I held off on this set for that very reason. Once I found out the double torso sets were out I started looking. I have no love for Vampira's face so she will be on her way out the door.  I also picked up the 1st Abbey Abominable. So call me slow but she wasn't a fave of mine. She kind of grew on me. I was no fan of Skull Shores or the newest giftset (comes with 2 or 3 fashions) Abbey. I will have to redress her as her outfit does nothing for me..although her boots are awesome. I will have to play around with her a bit to see if she will stay on the island as it were. I'm not a fan of all the MH dolls released (my wallet is happy). Most of the dolls disappoint me in person.  So after all the hoopla over...
